Also, remember in 1990, the redevelopment/gentrification efforts of GM were peaking in the New Center area. There were many degree holding 25-34 year olds living in the New Center. It was a more African-American mixture than those downtown or in midtown today, but there were probably close to a thousand college educated young adults in that area at the time. Sadly, some of the largest buildings are now abandoned [[like on Seward and Woodward), and the tenant mix is not as affluent or well-educated.
